Cetrotide (Cetrorelix acetate) prevents the production of certain hormones in the body which stimulate the release of an egg. In fertility treatment, it is used to prevent the premature release of an egg. When the egg is ready to be released, a different drug will be taken to induce ovulation.
Cetrotide is used in cases of infertility to control the release of an egg during your menstrual cycle. It prevents premature ovulation in patients undergoing a controlled ovarian stimulation, followed by oocyte pick-up and assisted reproductive techniques.
It is also used in conjunction with other drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release more eggs. The drug belongs to a group of medicines called 'anti-gonadotrophin-relasing hormones.
The most commonly reported side effects are local injection site reactions such as erythema, swelling and pruritus that are usually transient in nature and mild in intensity.
Mild to moderate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) have been commonly reported and should be considered as an intrinsic risk of the stimulation procedure. Inversely, severe OHSS remains uncommon.
Uncommonly, cases of hypersensitivity reactions including pseudo-allergic/anaphylactoid reactions have been reported.
Do not store above 25 °C. Keep the vial(s) in the outer carton in order to protect from light.
